Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
Outstanding southern rock. Really like the feel of “things goin on” reminds me of my favorite zeppelin song “boogie with Stu” with the honky tonk style piano. The north Mississippi hill country blues feel to “Mississippi kid” drew me in As well. Not to mention the huge number of famous hit songs.
Nine Inch Nails

Classic electronic industrial peaks and valleys of thick textured sounds and stripped down rhythm. Thank you Trent
